I always thought he said "country boy". If it would, that quote be oddly fitting for me.
It's one of those classics I don't particularly dislike, but never understood what made it great either.

I suppose it's odd seeing "About a Girl" shoot up high, probably because it only became really popular due to a live version from 1994.

I also thought it was "country boy", but was surprised to consistently see "pantry boy" online. Then again, I'm horrible with lyrics, so these instances of knowing and hearing songs for decades and then finding I had the lyrics wrong is not rare.
